Oooh! B.J., you so lucked out! Here in Sweden, I cringe every time I have to go into an LBS for something and tell them I have a 'bent. You can just watch their faces twist in contempt and I get the predictable, "Get a real bike." comment. Predictably, they want me to get a 'real bike' from them.

My husband finally found a shop willing to deal CHEERFULLY with my 'bent. It's about 50 miles away and I had a good laugh when he told me it's a very high end shop that supplies professional racing teams their bikes. The shop supplying the hard-core cycle purists is most happy to work with my bent? But then, they embraced carbon fiber and other advances. Why not a different geometry?
